MobiSense

Current solutions that enable the collection of information about the environment, infrastructure and road surface quality are expensive, equipment-heavy and require significant human interaction. Even more, there is no solution that provides timely data, making it difficult for infrastructure owners to optimize maintenance schedules and avoid motorist damage claims. The MobiSense consortium will develop a set of vehicle-equipped hardware and software modules that allow the low-cost and instantaneous collection of geospatial road infrastructure and environmental data, enabling predictive road maintenance and reducing vehicle damage.

Cost-effective, reliable, high-coverage data capture

Modern vehicles and smartphones contain sensors capable of measuring metrics related to the environment around the vehicle, such as road surface state, infrastructure safety, sound levels and air quality. This dynamic geospatial data is valuable to a wide range of stakeholders, from drivers, urban planners and infrastructure owners to insurance firms and real estate agents. To gather and process this data efficiently and manage it prudently, advanced data management hurdles and legal concerns must be addressed.

The project will also result in a techno-economic analysis of the commercial viability and valorization roadmap of the solution.

Repairing infrastructure before it breaks down

Enabling real-time monitoring of road and environmental conditions at less than 10% of current costs, the MobiSense project will provide infrastructure stakeholders with the data they need to keep roads in good shape, prevent vehicle damage and reduce the cost of measurement campaigns and monitoring equipment. Even more, the solution will be able to pinpoint the causes of infrastructure damage.
